“I respect all strikers. They are all very high-quality players,” van Drongelen said, acknowledging the varying challenges different attackers pose.
“How much each player challenges me depends on the match. Your performance can also vary from match to match. How you defend as a team is also very important. In some matches, you can defend in very narrow areas.”
When pressed to choose the most dangerous forward, van Drongelen didn’t hesitate: “In my opinion, Victor Osimhen is the most dangerous striker in the Super Lig. Everyone sees and understands this. That is why the big teams in Europe are following him.
